    A little more progress! The roof is built and dry fit! Starting the back storage area I have the Roof in the garage now and added a center support (east/west) and prepping for fiberglass.

    No boundaries adventure trailer

    Just realize it's built by Forest River.. That should be enough said. I'm a firm believer in building your own, it will be what 'you' want!

    My 2004 F150 XLT 4x4 coming back into life!

    A bit more progress and started prep'ing section for the roof! Still need to finish epoxy work on the side sections (only one side done now), then mill them to size and rout the lip on them. Another day of prep, then I start actually making the roof!

    Time to head out and explore a bit. NH

    I've done what was asked of us and I'm done awaiting someone to tell me it's okay.. So I'll tell me! Been doing a lot of work on building up the camper on my truck and with some foul weather coming in next week, I'm going to take a break and explore a bit with Wifey's Taco! Haven't decided...

    My 2004 F150 XLT 4x4 coming back into life!

    Another nice day to work on it a bit! 3 sides of the upper section is cut straight (over the cab left to do), side walls are glued in (ready to sand and some filler work) and sealed up the underside of the wheel wells. Hoping today to finish yesterday's left over and get the rim glued in...

    My 2004 F150 XLT 4x4 coming back into life!

    Tried to pickup some more tube steel to at least box out the underside compartments, but... My supplier has stopped any pickup service for now. Just as my State is starting to open-up.. weird.

    My 2004 F150 XLT 4x4 coming back into life!

    Temperatures are in my favor and progress is being made, again. Had to remove the cage to fiberglass/paint those areas at the cab. Gas filler mounted (still need to fill/sand), deck on (and coated) and wheel wells in progress. Feels good to be moving on this again!

    Meat Cove

    Been there and loved the drive into the Cove. I have to say Upper Gaspe' was higher on 'my' list. Camped by 3 lighthouses, spending the afternoon counting the Minke's swimming by.

    My 2004 F150 XLT 4x4 coming back into life!

    Temperatures are just teasing me right now. Yet has been warm enough to make some progress. Bed is now off and the cage is welded. Wheel wells and move on to closing the walls in. Still a way to go, but progress!

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Hovering over we're you are about to snap/click works pretty well to see if it's going to work. Working on back roads/wood roads, you will still get those spots that it just won't fill. What I found (and mentioned to Gaia) is that some of those routes just are not passable (like bridge out or...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I was having issues in several levels of route planning, then as I worked through those I found I was still asking myself questions after the fact. The folders option I found to be very handy. My only disappointment is if you open a folder (laptop) you get a small window to view. Going into full...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    Sorry, may not have been clear.. Daily is a file then the multiple files placed into a folder. By this, I have a daily run that I can notate, I know the distance of that run and hopefully easier to deal with as the actual track is made. I'm still playing with all this to work out a system that...

    Ask About Gaia GPS!

    I've started building my routes by day-runs and placing the day-runs in a folder. This way I have potential dailies and can open the entire route as a folder. Example: route name day 1, route name day2, etc... then folder as route name.

    Solar Power and Overlanding

    I have 130W panel and 200ah battery bank thinking I needed all this... I don't. I built a spreadsheet so I could see my usage (at max) and determine what I require. Now my setup will go me close to 10days without recharging, yet we don't stay 10 days anywhere when traveling. We found the we...
